@emollick Not sure whether it is "smart" or "flawed"  that NB2 disregards the high probability that the odd page will be to the right of the fold — therefore requiring two different books/images to display. Certainly a "tell" for AI — at least for era of frontier models.

Very Stanford

Did not expect a question that starts out 'Do you think before you speak?' to go so well. A+ question from Charlotte Harpur A++ response from Eileen Gu.

@emollick Haven't cracked this book open, yet, but the premise/post-colon title, "Style in the Age of Artificial Intelligence," is interesting update on Strunk & White: https://t.co/Bvf17IQyea

I'll have more posts to share in the coming week about the show, but as folks make plans for the conference, make sure that TANTALIDS, THURSDAY 1/8, 7:30PM YOSEMITE, are part of them.
See you there and then!

Classicists! It's just over a week until the annual AIA/SCS meeting, this time in San Francisco, and that means preparations are gearing up for the annual CAMP production. This year, CAMP is proud to present "Tantalids: take ii," under the direction of Vanessa Stovall!

[Al Duncan @AD_Classics]

There's so much to say about this innovative, shocking, and emotionally powerful production — but who could say some of this better than the brilliant dynamo behind this revival, Vanessa Stovall, whose recent SCS blog-post is well worth reading in full. https://t.co/ZSAChhqgSq

It's official! My department, UNC Classics, is hiring for the Paddison Professor of Latin: https://t.co/5rYi7FLHnO

[Al Duncan @AD_Classics]

I'm not on the search committee and don't have/can't give any inside information, but I'd be happy to field any general questions about the lovely NC Research Triangle area, campus culture, etc. I encourage every Latinist who thinks they might fit the description to apply!***
